What are Web Services?

Web services provide a common platform that allows multiple applications built on various programming languages to have the ability to communicate with each other.

A Web service is a software application or component identified by a URI, whose interfaces and binding are capable of being described by standard formats and supports direct interactions with other software applications or components via Internet-based protocols

Web services are loosely coupled software components delivered over standard
Internet technologies.

Loosely coupled, reusable software components that semantically
encapsulate discrete functionality and are distributed and programmatically accessible over standard Internet protocols.

A Web service is any piece of software that makes itself available over the Internet and uses a standardized XML messaging system.

From a technical point of view, Web services can be seen as an application API that can be invoked by an Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
